Fans of the Swiss soccer team Young Boys of Bern protested the rise of esports this weekend by throwing dozens of tennis balls and a few PS4 controllers on the pitch 15 minutes into a Swiss Super League game against FC Basel.

The controllers were reportedly etched with the words “F**** ESPORTS” and similar obscenities. Fans of both Young Boys and Basel also held up a giant banner with the symbol for the pause button. The sign stretched across 15 rows in the lower section of the arena.
